Lebanon, 2013-2018, Conflict (Syria) 2018 Conflict Case study CCCM case studies Vol.3 Ch2 The Collective Site Management and Coordination (CSMC) programme started in 2013 as a Camp Management response to Syrian refugees in Lebanon. UNHCR established the term ‘Collective Site Management and Coordination’ in early 2014 to describe the informal nature of the camp response in Lebanon and to include collective shelter and collective centre management and coordination. The CSMC programme used a mobile approach centred around Community Capacity Building (CCB), in order to hand over site management and coordination responsibilities to refugees and local authorities, and thereby to reduce dependence on NGOs. The project was implemented in more than 250 Informal Settlements in the Bekaa Valley and North Lebanon, the implementing agency reaching nearly 40,000 refugees. The project involved the focus areas of establishing and training settlement committees; coordinating with service providers for service delivery at community level as well as referral of individual cases; and building the capacity of local authorities through staff secondment and training.

Haiti, 2010-2013, Earthquake 2013 Earthquake Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 Since 2011, the Government of Haiti, with support from the CCCM/Shelter Cluster and partner agencies, has engaged in Cash Grants Rental Subsidy (CGRS) programs, which provide affected households with a cash stipend to cover one year’s rent, plus additional grants for livelihood or other types of assistance. From the beginning of the CGRS program in 2011 until the end of 2013, an estimated 63,000 families will have been relocated from camps using this approach. Camp closure was thus based on the respect for the rights of the displaced by ensuring that the decision to leave was informed and voluntary. The process involves considerable efforts dedicated to developing strategies for communication with beneficiaries. Haiti 2010 2013 Earthquake case study CCCM_Case Studies_VOL 1
Kenya, 2007-2008, Conflct 2008 Conflict Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 The CCCM Cluster was activated as a standalone cluster in January 2008 along with 11 other clusters.The cluster approach was activated because the country was overwhelmed by the crisis, despite the presence of a strong governance structure. The majority of the 11 clusters were phased out in August 2008 with the exception of Protection and Early Recovery. The roles of the CCCM Cluster were to provide support to KRCS in terms of camp infrastructure, registration and service provision. However, at the onset of the crisis the roles and responsibilities of all CCCM actors were not well established. Thus, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was drafted, agreed, and signed by the KRCS and the CCCM Cluster. The CCCM Cluster played an integral role, providing advice and technical support to the KRCS. Kenya 2007 2008 Conflct case study CCCM_Case Studies_VOL 1
Namibia, 2011, Flood 2011 Flood Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 In 2011, Namibia experienced one of its worst floods in its history. A joint rapid assessment was conducted by the Government of the Republic of Namibia to gather information on the gaps and needs in the response. Based on the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) assessment, and, recognizing the existing disaster risk management system and structures in place in Namibia, a capacity building program for the national disaster management authorities was developed from a CCCM training package. Further, this success led to the development of a contextualized Disaster Risk Management (DRM) training package. Two training packages were developed comprising of more than 80 simple and practical tools, which used images and illustrations to disseminate key messages. This attracted participants’ attention and enabled them to identify the messages in a faster and easier way, and they brought color and fun to the training.

Pakistan, 2013, Conflict 2013 Conflict Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 The CCCM Cluster was responsible for three camps in the KPP FATA region. Its responsibilities entailed: identifying, monitoring and reporting on standards; and coordinating multi-sectoral services. Due to issues of gender-based violence (GBV) and security, with the high risk of abandoned tents being used to host suicide bombers, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and CCCM partners decided to carry out a joint tent-to-tent survey to verify the actual number of IDP families residing in the camp.

Pakistan, 2012, Flood 2012 Flood Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 Country-wide flooding in 2010, floods in Sindh and Balochistan in 2011, and the flooding in Sindh, Balochistan and Southern Punjab in 2012 and 2013 have together affected at least 29 million people and damaged or completely destroyed almost 3 million houses across the country. In 2011 the CCCM Cluster was not formally activated following the floods despite significant population displacements, which resulted in a gap in the response. To compensate, the temporary Settlement and Support Unit (TSSU) was rolled out under the Shelter Cluster to undertake CCCM-related roles, including tracking displacement and return trends, and supporting the identification of displaced people’s needs. As recovery activities were on-going in areas affected by the 2011 floods, three provinces were hit again by flash floods due to heavy rains in September 2012, causing widespread damage. Again, the TSSU team mobilized to monitor displacement trends and needs of populations in temporary settlements. Pakistan 0 2012 Flood case study CCCM_Case Studies_VOL 1
Philippines, 2012, Typhoon 2012 Typhoon Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster collaborated closely with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and to develop a systematic disaster response during recurring natural disasters in the Philippines. This case study highlights the use of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). This is one of the tools that the Government of the Philippines and the CCCM Cluster have used during disaster responses. It provides timely and accurate data of displaced people’s locations and needs to support informed decision-making. When typhoon Bopha (Pablo) hit the Visayas and Mindanao regions in December 2012, the CCCM Cluster immediately rolled out the DTM. At the same time, the DTM itself evolved by receiving feedback from field operations during the recurring natural disaster responses. Philippines 0 2012 Typhoon case study CCCM_Case Studies_VOL 1
Thailand, 2011-2012, Flood 2012 Flood Case study CCCM case studies Vol.1 In 2011, Thailand was hit by the worst flooding it has experienced in over 50 years. The compounding effects of extreme weather events overwhelmed all water management systems, and one fifth of the country was inundated. The flood waters spread all the way from Ayutthaya to Bangkok. The CCCM Cluster assisted in the procurement of food and non-food items (NFIs). At a later stage in the disaster response, CCCM also provided capacity building trainings to strengthen the competencies of the Thai authorities in preparedness, mitigation, and collective center management. This case study focuses on the second stage of the response. The trainings were successful and prompted further requests for capacity building from the national authorities. CCCM also created short video clips to promote better collective center coordination and management among local and national authorities, and communities.

The CCCM Cluster was tasked to develop and pilot a camp phase-out and closure program, which was later used asthe flagship model for the rest of Northern Uganda and is the basis for this case study.
